Jesus taught sermons in scores, <br />On mount, boats and shores, <br />To set right the growing disorder <br />And bring in a new religious order. <br /> <br />ABOUT SALT AND LIGHT <br /> <br />'You're of a special kind <br />Like salt, to all mankind. <br />If salt should lose its saltiness, <br />It then becomes worthless.' <br /> <br />'You're just like the light <br />That keeps the world so bright. <br />A city built atop a hill <br />Cannot remain hidden still.' <br /> <br />'A lamp, that is lit, <br />Under a basket, is not kept, <br />But mounted on a lamp-stand. <br />This all can understand.' <br /> <br />'All good things you do, <br />Will shine and bring you <br />A reward from heaven <br />That's for sure and certain.' <br /> <br />ABOUT THE LAW <br /> <br />The Law that Moses brought, <br />And what Prophets had taught, <br />Shall continue to remain: <br />Be sure, it'll not be undone.' <br /> <br />'One who follows the same, <br />The Lord will note his name, <br />The Kingdom of heaven; <br />He'll reach; it's certain.' <br /> <br />ABOUT ANGER <br /> <br />'Anger will blind a person, <br />Denying him heaven, <br />And lead him to hell; <br />This much I wish to tell.' <br /> <br />'Don't try to fool anyone, <br />That'll let you face a trial then. <br />Better settle outside your dispute, <br />Than fight it in a court.' <br /> <br />ABOUT ADULTERY <br /> <br />'Besides the crime 'adultery', <br />He'll be judged guilty <br />Even for looking at a woman <br />With a desire, her to own.' <br /> <br />'If your right eye sins, <br />Remove it at once. <br />Losing one part is better, <br />Than being a hell-getter.' <br /> <br />ABOUT DIVORCE <br /> <br />'No husband should divorce <br />His wife for any silly cause, <br />Except for her unfaithfulness, <br />That is deemed madness.' <br /> <br />ABOUT VOWS <br /> <br />'Any promise you make, <br />Never attempt to break <br />Don't swear by heaven, <br />For it is God's throne.' <br /> <br />(To be continued)<br /><br />Simple Simon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/j10-the-teachings-of-jesus-i/
